â€śOverall I think this is a pretty sweet and simple commerce site and have definitely pulled some ideas from this site to hopefully tie into my upcomming project.â€ť

14.02.2009 = Typo Tees
â€śQuote by the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartreâ€¦ available at The Affair.com, a tee-shop with the most awesomest interface ever; be sure to check it out!â€ť

17.11.2008 = Strange Fruits
â€śWe simply love the 3D suggestion.â€ť

31.10.2008 = Get Kempt

23.10.2008 = Klunk
â€śI got my â€?Babylon Rockerâ€™ one in the post the other day and to be quite frank it is the t-shirt equivalent of being kissed on the brain by God.â€ť

22.10.2008 = Drop Knowledge
â€śInstead of stupid designs that favor style over substance, these shirts have style AND substance (not to mention that their website is super-slick).â€ť

22.10.2008 = Surf Station
â€śNice shirts. Great site.â€ť

20.10.2008 = Tag Culture
â€śThe Affair have distilled the essence of the statement [Sartre's quote "Hell is Other People"] with Parisian-inspired typography and iconography that is understated and quite glorious to behold.â€ť

09.10.2008 = Format Mag
â€śTired of gaudy, meaningless graphics and all-over prints on your clothing? Check out the-affair, a relatively young brand that makes â€ślimited edition t-shirts for the thinking man.â€ť The label has just released two new thought-provoking tees for fall that donâ€™t just look good, they practically stimulate the mind. Entitled â€śLâ€™Enfer câ€™est les Autresâ€ť and â€śJazz Traitorâ€ť, both shirts feature gorgeous, full color graphics and have the stories behind their intricate designs printed within. Available now.â€ť

28.09.2008 = Orwellian Pigs
â€śPossibly topping the PPP in the dystopian scale is the Miniluv shirt and hoodie from The Affair. As the website proudly proclaims, it specializes in â€śShirts for the Thinking Man,â€ť and this thinker is proudly going to be an owner of such a shirt.â€ť

28.09.2008 = The Awesomer
â€śRastafarian iconography, decrepit Soviet spacecraft and William Gibson all mix deliciously on this Babylon Rocker t-shirt by the-affair. Limited to 200, this is a brand thatâ€™s going places.â€ť

27.09.2008 = Not for Paper
â€śHere is a unique way to browse and buy some great t-shirt designs. The site presentation is sophisticated and refreshingly simple. Itâ€™s also worth noting that it loads surprisingly fast for the number of highly-detailed images used.â€ť

08.09.2008 = Irie

24.08.2008 = Tag Culture
â€śthe designers at The-Affair may have just distilled the perfect blend of iconic representation and social commentary. The face of Jesus stares out from a white t-shirtt, but upon closer inspection it becomes apparent that the messianic likeness is formed from clusters of Islamic crescents. Subversive? Yes, in the best possible way. Potentially inflammatory or controversial? Well, isnâ€™t that the point?â€ť

12.07.2008 = guilty dragon
â€śI usually hate flash website, but the aforementioned Gibson referance had piqued my interest. On this site in question were hosted some of the most awesome t-shirt designes I have ever seen. These things are majestic, and anyone who has read the books to which they are a referance too should really appriciate them.â€ť

13.06.2008 = FAIRspot
â€śWith no physical presence on the high-street, our website had to mimic as closely as possible the actual experience of trying the shirt/s on.â€ť

01.05.2008 = aeloa

22.04.2008 = le carnet

21.04.2008 = format
â€śThe line is inspired by late night philosophical discussions over cigarettes and chardonnay.â€ť

20.04.2008 = t-shirts around the internet
â€śinteresting sophisticated shirtsâ€¦ are always well thought and balancedâ€ť

18.04.2008 = the boston herald
â€śInspired by the nightmarish futures imagined by Orwell, William Gibson and others, these limited-edition tees are sly enough to pass under the radar of chic hipsters but witty enough to be picked up by fellow cyberpunks.â€ť

03.04.2008 = lost at e minor
â€śWe love the range of prints created by graphic-tee fashion label, the-affairâ€¦ which is why weâ€™re stocking a selection of their t-shirts in the Lost At E Minor online store.â€ť

31.03.2008 = flylyf culture media
â€śThe-affair was created by two guys trying to break as many rules as possible. Co-creators Zoltan Csaki and David Black have put together a very fresh and often provocative collection that is definitely worth a second look.â€ť

20.03.2008 = t-shirt watch
â€śWeâ€™ve said it before, but Iâ€™ll say it again - coolest flash t-shirt site weâ€™ve ever played with.â€ť

20.03.2008 = fantastic bonanza
â€śWhatâ€™s so amazing about these tees, however, is that Iâ€™ve only seen good onesâ€¦â€ť

12.03.2008 = t-addict

12.03.2008 = cottonable
â€śThe Affair is looking to be a great destination for literary-minded t-shirt fansâ€¦ In Cortoâ€™s Crash, a line from Gibsonâ€™s Neuromancer comes to life, with huge text obscured by complex vectors. Itâ€™s almost a vintaged look, which is deeply appealing in a shirt about the future.â€ť

08.03.2008 = Funkyduds

02.03.2008 = Styledash
â€śThese guys arenâ€™t throwing hearts and rainbows on their gear, theyâ€™re dropping knowledgeâ€¦ If youâ€™re looking for John Grisham quotes youâ€™ll have to take it elsewhere.â€ť

28.02.2008 = Thrillist

20.02.2008 = Form Fifty Five
â€śGreat little flash siteâ€ť

18.02.2008 = The Serif

15.02.2008 = Reform Revolution

15.02.2008 = Change the Thought
â€śâ€¦if you like the idea of sporting something that â€?looksâ€™ trendy but references an issue, idea or book that you might feel strongly about then the line of t-shirts at The Affair were made just be for you. â€ť

18.10.2007 = Fresh Industrie
â€ś(Muslim Jesus) is a very cool designâ€¦ itâ€™s a clever visual pun that makes the message much more poignant. Check it out on their equally impressively designed website.â€ť

17.10.2007 = CoolHunting
â€śOut of East London, the-affair is not just another t-shirt label interested in fashion. They do a good job blending social commentary and design to create a statement that goes deeper than the typical tee.â€ť

16.10.2007 = Old Parrs Head
â€śnice site - a great way of showing tshirtsâ€ť

07.10.2007 = Design is Kinky
â€śJust starting out, but The Affair have their act together. Unique way of showing the Ts on their site also.â€ť

06.10.2007 = Three Hundred and Sixty Five Shirts
â€śThe label it self is a definite winnerâ€¦ their impressive flash site and detail, not only in the shirts, but also in product descriptions puts them a step ahead of most other labels. Also the printing quality is spot on.â€ť

05.10.2007 = tshirtwatch
â€śIâ€™ve been wanting to a â€?best ofâ€™ category for site designs, I just havenâ€™t gotten around to it. When I do, The Affair is hitting the top of the listâ€¦ But every once in a while a shop getâ€™s it all right. The Affairâ€™s site is nothing short of beautiful. Simple, clean, usable and intuitiveâ€¦ And you know what, they design shirts as good as they do web sites.â€ť

04.10.2007 = funkyduds
â€ś(Muslim Jesus) made me tingle, then smile, then giggle, then pause a little and say â€śthat is FUCKING awesomeâ€ť. Something that is designed so slick and subtle but has such a sharp undertone.â€ť

27.09.2007 = the graffik

29.09.2007 = death-by-tshirt
â€śat first glance their tshirts just look likeâ€¦ well, really cool tshirts. Look a little bit harder though, and you will see that they are actually inspired by topics of substance, and convey a good deal of social commentaryâ€ť

27.09.2007 = the serif

27.09.2007 = omgtees
â€śThe attention to detail is supreme - itâ€™s like theyâ€™re selling sunseekers, not tshirtsâ€¦ The flash site has a real feeling that the designer has been set free, become his own client, and is using those great ideas no one else would pay for!â€ť

27.09.2007 = phasetwo
â€ścool t-shirts and even cooler siteâ€ť

26.09.2007 = lost at e minor
â€śMore than just fashion, the-affair blends social commentary and design to create a statement that goes deeper than a typical tee. Weâ€™re also loving the interactive experience of the the-affairâ€™s website, which gives a nice feel for the fit, fabric and prints.â€ť

24.09.2007 = too much cyan
â€śI love the simplicity of the interface.â€ť

24.09.2007 = jeff merrick
â€śCool shirts, awesome website.â€ť

22.09.2007 = brandish
â€śThe Affair is taking a more controversial and, arguably, political stance in respect to their designsâ€¦ two rad t-shirts.â€ť

21.09.2007 = yayhooray
â€śthis site is an example of well written copy!!â€ť

21.09.2007 = notcot

12.09.2007 = tshirtisland

11.09.2007 = LFPUG

10.09.2007 = boredomisyourfault
â€śThis should serve as a role model for all those shops that use tiny thumbnails and images that conceal more than they show. On your site, i can smell the fabric of the tees off the screen!â€ť
